The time has come to make Bangladesh not merely a country of investment opportunities, but a country where businesses are welcomed, honest entrepreneurs are supported, investment is protected, and opportunities can be realized with confidence, efficiency, and dignity.
Bangladesh's capacity to attract the necessary investment for its forthcoming development phase will depend in part on whether investors trust the implicit contract.
The government and private sector have an opportunity to work together to translate the positive policy signals contained in the budget into tangible investment outcomes. If we do so successfully, Bangladesh will not only attract foreign capital but also encourage successful members of the Bangladeshi diaspora to invest their expertise, resources, and networks in the country's future.
